Programming Languages as Chairs

Python Wow. It's so comfortable, and cheap too. I think I want this one. Yeah, it's a popular model, but still quite old. It makes you look lazy. Javascript Wow, so many features! What does this one do? That button will cause the chair to attack its owner. Never touch it. I'm even sure why they put it in... C# This is one of our most comfortable chairs, but it works best if you use it with the correct platform. Java A lot of people who don't like the previous model prefer this one because it's platform independent. PHP That's a desk... You can sit on it, can't you?

A comic compares programming languages to different chairs. Python is comfortable but old-fashioned, JavaScript has dangerous complexity, C# depends on the correct platform, Java is platform-independent, and PHP is just a desk that technically can be sat on. The joke stereotypes the strengths, weaknesses, and reputations of popular programming languages.
